The Supply Chain Optimization Technologies (SCOT) Buying team is at the heart of Amazon's global inventory management. We build sophisticated automated systems that decide what to buy, when to buy it, and where to place billions of dollars in inventory across Amazon's vast network. These decisions directly impact Amazon's ability to delight customers and drive operational efficiency. Join us to solve complex technical challenges at massive scale, shaping the core of Amazon's retail business through data-driven decisions.

As a Senior Business Intelligence Engineer in SCOT Buying Analytics, you will lead complex data initiatives across Amazon's diverse buying programs, including Just in Time, Advanced Purchasing, and Global Ordering. You'll architect scalable solutions that provide crucial insights into Access to Supply metrics, driving key decisions in buying and sourcing strategies. This role requires exceptional technical expertise to handle massive datasets while consolidating historically siloed data architectures. You'll collaborate with SCOT and Retail leadership, translating complex analyses into actionable insights that influence product availability strategies. As a technical leader, you'll mentor team members and establish best practices for data architecture and analytics approaches.

* Champion data quality and efficient processing methods for high-volume data pipelines

A day in the life
You might start your day working with a teammate to optimize a complex SQL query, then you would work with Product Managers to dive deep into data to explain trends in a critical metric. Later, you could lead a technical design review for a new cross-program metrics framework or you could present supply chain insights related to a strategic business decision to senior leadership, followed by collaborating with retail partners to define requirements for a new self-service dashboard.
